There’s something undeniably rare and exhilarating about life at the top of one of Miami’s newest towers, where you get a true bird’s eye view of the city’s ever-evolving skyline and a level of privacy and design that’s simply unmatched. As more high-rises reshape South Florida’s horizon, penthouses are emerging as the ultimate expression of modern luxury.
And today’s ultra-luxury buyers are looking beyond square footage and price per square foot. According to recent trends, privacy, location, and one-of-a-kind design are driving demand more than ever — whether the listing is $4 million or $40 million. From a glass-wrapped sanctuary atop a luxury boutique building in North Bay Village to a sky palace with its own car elevator in Sunny Isles, these are the types of homes quietly redefining luxury at the top.
Read on for a look at three of Miami’s best in elevated views:
Tula Residences
Perched above the shimmering waters of Biscayne Bay, the penthouses at Tula Residences offer some of the most breathtaking, unobstructed views in North Bay Village, stretching from the Miami skyline to the Atlantic Ocean. These six five-bedroom $5.995 million penthouses crown the top three floors of the boutique waterfront building, each spanning 3,700 square feet and wrapped in glass terraces that blur the line between indoors and out. Designed to maximize space, light, and privacy, the residences feature 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sliding glass doors that flood the interiors with natural light. Custom Italian chef’s kitchens include integrated appliances and refined, minimalist detailing, while spa-like primary bathrooms offer floating vanities, freestanding soaking tubs, and book-matched stone finishes. Tula is the first new residential development in North Bay Village in over a decade, with completion expected in 2026. With only 54 homes, Tula offers a private, design-forward lifestyle supported by amenities like a resort-style infinity pool, wellness center, media room, resident lounge, pet spa, and 24-hour concierge.
Bentley Residences
Rising 62 stories on the coveted oceanfront in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach, Bentley Residences will be the first-ever Bentley-branded residential tower. Harnessing the legacy and prestige of the world-renowned automobile brand, the two-story, $37.5 million penthouse will integrate hospitality services that go above and beyond, all while staying true to the iconic Bentley design. As the first of two penthouse homes to be unveiled, as well as one of the priciest listing to hit the Sunny Isles Beach market, the penthouse features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a study, entertainment loft, service quarters, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with Gaggenau appliances. Residents arrive through a private elevator foyer connected to the Dezervator, a patented car elevator that brings both car and driver directly to an in-home sky garage. With room for up to seven vehicles and EV charging, the glass-enclosed garage becomes a striking design feature visible from the 22-foot living area. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sunset terrace, and a summer kitchen provide generous space for entertaining, all protected by a specially engineered balcony that offers shelter from the elements. Optional furnishings from Bentley Home reflect the craftsmanship and curves of the iconic brand. Residents also enjoy access to exclusive property amenities including a whiskey bar, cigar lounge, beachfront pool deck, and signature dining led by James Beard Award-winning chef Todd English.
Cipriani Residences Miami
Rising 80 stories above the city in the heart of Brickell at 1420 South Miami Avenue is Cipriani Residences Miami, the renowned hospitality brand’s first-ever ground-up residential tower in the Americas. Part of the exclusive Canaletto Collection, this private sanctuary spans an impressive 4,763 square feet of impeccably designed interiors, complemented by an expansive 1,940-square-foot terrace that commands breathtaking panoramas of Biscayne Bay and Simpson Park, with pricing upon request. A grand foyer, framed by soaring ceilings and exquisite finishes, sets the tone for this extraordinary home, drawing the eye toward captivating, unobstructed views that blur the boundary between sky and sea. Beyond, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence—enhanced by a stately powder room—seamlessly blends architectural artistry with effortless livability. A private elevator entry unveils masterfully appointed spaces. A private infinity pool appears to spill into the horizon, while an expansive summer kitchen transforms alfresco dining into an art form. A dedicated home theater and wellness retreat provide bespoke spaces for indulgence, ensuring that every element of life is curated to the highest standard. The tower’s premium amenity collection includes resident-only Cipriani dining services, a resort-style deck with two pools, and a spa with sauna and treatment rooms.
